Unless I’m reading the box score wrong, Estrada had a perfect game going at the time of the catch (lost with 1 out in the 8th inning because of the infield hit); further, the game is still 0-0 in the top of the 9th.

As a longtime masochist (Astros fan) in Austin who was blessedly free of exposure over the last 3 years due to the Comcast implosion, the team is infuriating but exciting. Correa and Springer are both 5-tool players (the former looks like the next incarnation of A-Rod), Altuve is constantly on base, and the rest of…

“What do you think about Tom Brady, Clyde Frog?” “I think he’s a big piece of crap!” “HEY!”

(Cowering Dad three seats to the kid’s right gives him his baseball cap, says “you’re the man of the house now,” gets up and walks out of the stadium and his family’s life)

I saw the dugout reporter interview the kid later, and he was surprisingly self-deprecating. I think he said something like “I was just trying to energize him... he looked bored out there” and also “I thought he was motioning me to sit back and shut up, but then it was really just wait because I’ve got something for…

These definitely have the feel of the $19 knockoff one purchases at a sporting goods store because they can’t afford the $99 officially licensed jersey. You can even put your last name on the back with white electrician’s tape.

And we have to be careful, as a keystone species their death could cause a domino effect that takes out indoor lacrosse, Australian rules football, darts, the Iditarod, and perhaps even the Winter X-Games

“Sick,” “tight,” “gnarly,” and “super tight” have also been used to describe professional ultimate frisbee players’ personal finances.

“This reminds me of the 1954 World Cup,” she continued, “when Uruguay’s best player.. Miguel something.. was.. where was I? Oh yes, I was headed to the boardwalk while wearing an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time.”

Oh no, now they might finish 13th in the West instead of 11th or.. dare they dream.. 10th?

Goodell: Well let’s get this underway. I’ve made my decision.

I got all the NFL realism I need from that 1st and Ten documentary series filmed over the mid-80s. Man that Diane Barrow was a bitch on wheels.

Is this show blurring the murky lines between hero and villain? Is it suggesting that those who protect us have personal demons that need exorcising?

I have no idea why there would be any amount of hand-wringing on this. 28% of South Carolina is black and the flag, loveliness of individuals aside, is an official statement telling them they ain’t shit and, as the birthplace of secessionist thought, we yearn for a time where we could, if we wish, decide to own you.

And if his $1.99 barber college special Buster Brown haircut at the time was any indication, he was losing his shirt in the process

Isn’t hyperbole supposed to be a device, i.e. useful?

Those of us older than dirt liked this* the first time on HBO when it was called 1st and Ten, starring OJ Simpson, Delta Burke, and the current Mrs. Gene Simmons.

If you can think of a better way to tolerate Kenny Chesney’s country muzak, I’d like to hear it.

I can’t believe that the genteelness, mannered speech, and abhorrence of physical violence of their old man didn’t rub off on the twins.
